“Remember where you’re from. Remember the sacrifices made for you not just by our people but by people across the diaspora for you to be afforded the freedoms. Because people made sacrifices for you, you have a responsibility to pay it forward in recognition that you have a responsibility to shine brightly, to speak loudly when it’s the right thing to do, and just make space for more beyond you.””
